"To worship is my fundamental right, which is not against the law," VHP's international secretary general M S Pravin Togadia told mediapersons in Madras.
He expressed disagreement with Advani's remarks that a solution to the issue could be found through talks and consensus.
Togadia pointed out that courts had so far been unable to resolve the tangle.
"Justice delayed is justice denied. We have been waiting for 50 years. Do you expect us to wait for another 400 years?" he asked.
Asked whether VHP's plans for the temple construction next year would not result in fall of the National Democratic Alliance government at the Centre, he said "We want to establish the sentiment of millions of Hindus for a Ram temple at Ayodhya. What happens to the government is not our concern."
He said the VHP would seek the support of MPs belonging to all political parties for the construction of the temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya.
"If the political parties support us, they will benefit; otherwise, it's their loss," Togadia added.
He said if political parties did not support the cause of temple construction at Ayodhya, a mass movement would be launched by the VHP.
"We have the full support of the Hindus," he claimed.
